A Wimbledon selfie stick ban is in effect at this year's competition after organizers dubbed the device a "nuisance."
The All England Club says the decision was made so that selfie sticks don't "interfere with spectators' enjoyment" during the June 29-July 12 championships, The Associated Press reported.
Selfie sticks are common sights at sports and music venues around the world, as fans use the pole-like device to grasp smartphones and snap self-portraits.
Churchill Downs, which stages the Kentucky Derby, announced this month that selfie sticks were banned for the May 2 race.
A Wimbledon ticketholders' guide says "in common with many other major sports and entertainment events and cultural attractions, The Championships will not allow selfie sticks into the grounds."
